POPSFox caught with its pants down on ABC attacks Apparently, FoxNews suffers from ‘selective memory loss’. Are they so blinded by their hatred for all things Obama that they don’t recognize their own tactics? There’s a video mashup of what Fox is saying now — and what it reported then, including footage from its fawning specials on both Bush and Cheney. Let the record show that I think the republicans should have equal say on this topic, and that the way Obama and ABC is presenting this ‘infomercial’ exclusive of republican input is a bit underhanded, but I’m sure FoxNews understands that Obama is president and he can do it this way if he wants. :)

POPSObama: It's OK to borrow to pay for health care Government will be pay as you go, except for this huge budget busting mashup of Frankenstein and the DMV. Is the President just rubbing our noses in it with two faced stuff like this, or do we subjects even matter?

POPS Put Your Tweets Into Pictures With Portwiture If you find any of the images particularly interesting, Portwiture lets you post the image to Twitter directly and share it with your friends. Similarly, you can tweet the entire mosaic so your friends can see your custom-generated Twitter "portrait." If you don't like the images, you can always refresh the page and the service will generate an entirely new portrait made up of new images. You can change Portwiture's settings by clicking the "more options" tab under the username box, and tell the service to use more words (the default is your 10 most commonly used words) or to limit the portrait to images posted by a specific Flickr user. The options also allow you to sort the images by relevance, most or least interesting, or the date the photo was taken or uploaded. Since you can refresh the page to get more pictures it's always interesting to see what words I commonly post and the images they match up to at Flickr.
